After reading the owners manual, I learned that my car radio has an anti theft protection system built in to it.  If the radio ever looses power, It won’t operate until you enter the five digit security code.

Great, how do I find the security code? Well, It should be on my radio card.  What radio card?   I don’t know!!

I checked the owners manual and they assured me that if I couldn’t find the card, I only needed the VIN and the radio serial number and the dealership could help me.

Great!!.  I could get the VIN easily  enough but the radio serial number was another matter.  I didn’t even know where to look.  Fortunately, I found the radio code card in the glove compartment.  I entered the code and the radio fired right up.  Cool!!

I will make a point in writing down that code in the owners manual.
